Samuel +. Miller, one of the Asso-
ciate Justices of the Supreme Court of
the United States, was born at Rich.
mond, in the State of Kentucky, April
D, 1916. He was educated at Tran
Sylvania University in that State;
studied medicine, began to practice,
but atterward gave up the practice
and became lawyer. Adopting eman-
clpatlon views in 1913, he found the
surroundings uncomfortable, ana in
1850 he removed to the new State of
Iowa. Here he became very success
full as lawyer, and although often
solicited, declined all offices, until in
1862 he was appointed by President
Lincoln to the position he now holds.
Justice Miller is the senior associate,
and resides at keokuk, Iowa.

TOO HOLY BY HALF.

The action of the council in its yester-
days session, in passing a vote of Censure
upon Alderman Belknap for asking in
vestigstion lHto rumors affecting the in
tegrity of the council, will not be gen.
orally approved in this city. The lam
guage of this censure il peculiarly Sc
we're, rs 1t charges him with grave and
serious error" with casting slur on
his brother aldermen by accusing them
OF dishonesty" with doing the "city an
injury that can never be erased" and
all this for what? Because Alderman
Belknap, en- the 18th inst, said in coun-
Gil that he "had heard that aldermen
had been offered stock in the competing
electric light companies to carry this
thing through" He wanted thorough
Investigation, as il was common street
talk, and moved that a committee Of
three be appointed by the mayor to in
vestigate.
AS will be seen from the above extracts
from the council proceedings, as publish
ed, there wss no charge by Mr.. Bel
KNAPP of dishonesty on the part
of any alderman, but simply that it was
charged that stock In an electric light
plant for the city had been offered to
some aldermen, and be wanted the mat
ter thoroughly investigated. The front
OF his whole offending was that he
wished rumOrs affecting the integrity OF
the council to be Investigated in order
that false imprt ssiOns might be removed
and crOokedness, If any, unearthed. Ii
was not charge Of bribe-taking. 1t
was not a charge OF dishonesty against
members of the council 1t was not
even an insinuatiOu that any member
had accepted stock Ii was the charge
that public rumOr asserted that stock
had been offered TO members OF the city
council to influence their action. The
charge was that the offer had been made,
not that 1t had been accepted. The parties
making the offer were supposed. of
course. TO be outside the council. and
the ofieDse WAS laid at that door and not
at the door Of the council.
This charge, upon investigation BY the
committee, was declared by them I'M
founded and in their report so declar-
ing they oensure the attempt of Alder
man Belknap in very severe terms.
This censure Of the council, which that
body refused to remove or table by
vote Of eight to three, plainly says that
henceforth no Investigations must be
ordered into any rumOred croOkedness
on the part Of those seeking city con-
tracts, under pain Of the seVerest couR-
Gil censures. IL prOolaims to all who
ask contracts at the hands of the city
that no investigation into any question
able methods by which they may seek
to secure such contracts will be allowed.
They are at perfect liberty TO solicit
members of council to take stock for
their influence as cOuucilmen, provided
such solicitation is not successful. San
Antonio city council has put herself on
record as being altogether too holy by
half in this thing, and the public YER
diet upon Its action will not be very
fattering to that body either at home
or abroad.
